Gerald Jablonski?

Has anyone heard tales of Gerald Jablonski? It seemed like new Cryptic Wit was coming out at a clip a few years back, but he’s seemed silent since that Farmer Ned book came out. I was chatting about him today and realized I hadn’t heard anything new about him in quite a while.

I think a new issue #4 quietly came out last year.

Issues 2-4 are available via print on demand. So happy to have found these.

I was thinking of starting a Jablonski thread! He's incredible.

I have the Fantagraphics collection: Farmer Ned's Comic Barn, and when reading the interview in the back, discovered he lives in my hometown. I wrote to him, and said I was a fan of his, and he sent me two issues of Cryptic Wit. AMAZING. I asked if he'd like to participate in local comics events, but he hasn't seemed interested in our brief correspondences. 

His work is so bizarre and challenging to read at times- and the balloon tails! Let's post some art in this thread, because you have to see his word balloon tails to believe them.

Holy cow, a fourth issue of Cryptic Wit! I feel blessed.

For those who might not know much about Jablonski, I wrote a bit about him back in 2017 www.thesmartset.com/jablonskis-barnyard/
